Dospit" tho repeated demands by tho police that those two beggars rofraln t^iun hanging uround tho buslnoBs district: thoy persist In returning until I he matter has bocomo a real problem to the officials. One of these unfortunates has attained a degree of mental and physical defic iency that his presence on tho street Is a menace to health. There J is grave duoht that he has ever known j use of soap and water. Ho has reach-1 ed a degree of mentality where ho is not responsible for his actions which have been of a repulsive nature. Tho presence of this typo of panhandler on the streets of any city is, not an asset by any means. With the' approach of tho time when Camden will entertain many visitors and guests. It Is fitting that the police take this matter In hand and insist that beggurs rofraln from operating in the main huHlnosH section of tho downtown district. MORALLY ROTTEN Tho Nazi system of Adolph Hitler Is morally rotten. Tit!* fact Is attested by the reckless brutal course tho Hermans have followed In tho present European War No regime with any sense of moral responsibility, with any. solf-resyaiui or with any regard j for the oplnou of mankind would have followed this course The word of Adolph Hitler and every follower Is worthless.

Mij*l>pe. _ y pected to He and lying is but a part of his see me of attack. Propaganda front German sources Is but a carefully developed method of undermining the morale of other peoples by the use of lies. A pledge moans nothing to this modern day demon. The rights of other nations, the law of othor nations, and the culture of great peoples have been as nothing to this plague of plagues. Ills treatment <>f the Jewlull peoples, the peoples of tho countries he has conquered is concrete evidence of the utter absenco of respect for right and Jostle. To him Justice has been but the right of the strong to oppress tho weak. An American Journalist, who left Paris recently because she was unable *o endure what she was forced to observe dally since tho Germans took over the city. In her written account appearing recently In the Metropolitan Press she tells of tho systematic robbing of private homes of valuables, the stripping of shops und stores of stocks and tools, the theft of valuable statuary, bronze lamps, the balustrades of such public squares as the Place I>e La Concorde. The writer tells of the scarcity of food and tho slow starvation that Is now In evidence on every hand. Paris, sho says, has been almost deserted by its citizens and everything left to tho vandalism and pillaging or tho marauders.

Few Aliens Found In South Carolina Allen registrations In South Carolina through September 12, 1240, were the lowest in the United States, according to a report of the department of justice made public today by Uwronce M. Pinckney, state director of the office of government reports for South Carolina. in the 4X states and the District of Columbia tho total alien registration through that' date was 012,223, of which only 374, or six one-hundredths of 1 per cent were regerlstered In South Carolina. The next lowest number of registrations was in Arkansas whore 401 aliens were registered through September 12. The greatest number was , registered in New York state when 146,163 were recorded cumulatively through that date. Intelligent Selling Of Timber Pays With good sawtlmbor markets in prospect this fall and winter, Kershaw county landowners will usually find that they can realize the greatest profltp from their farm timber by cutting it through Individual tree selection and then selling it in a businesslike manner, says County Agent McCarley, suggesting that farmers supervise carefully the cutting and selling of their timber. In marketing timber, it Is desirable to consider the following\hints, the county agent says: Become familiar with markets and prices for all kinds of timber growing in your woods such as pulpwood, poles, veneer bolts, and sawtlmber Advertise in your local, county, and state papers, stating tho kinds and quality of timber you have for sale. Give pulpwood and timber buyers full , opportunity to inspect your timber in order to become fully acquainted with what you have. The more timber buyers that know what you have, the better will be your opportunity for selling it at a good price. Sell only under written contract and to reliable buyers. Mark the trees for cutting, taking out only the mature trees and those that are diseased or of poor form and quality. Supervise the cutting and see that no unmarked trees are cut. "The opposite of this business-like method of selling timber is selling timber 'lump sum' down to 8 inches on tho stump", says Mr. McCarley. ' This is the most destructive and unprofitable method of selling farm timber. "Landowners can obtain assistance in timber marking from the county agent, state foresters, and foresters connected with the Southern Kraft Corporation pulpwood mill at Georgetown. or the West Virginia Pulp and Paper Mill at Charleston."
